The Times
Shoes are not required to take part in this electrifying slice of Brazilian exuberance (which can also be seen on the Paraiso Samba float at the Notting Hill Carnival). Not to be confused with ballroom samba, Henrique da Silva's straight-out-of-Rio brand of movement leads students though a full-on aerobic warm-up before we are all made to form up in orderly lines and weave what appear to be simple steps into sequences which became more tricky while the pounding rhythms of the nine-piece bateria (drum orchestra) grew relentlessly faster. Breathtaking, in at least two senses. RM 03/08/02
